Episode 8

* At the hospital

I’m about to finish my almost 26-hour shift today, it has been really heavy with a lot of workload, I’m about to go to my office when my cell phone rings again, I see the caller ID mom (God, I hope it’s not more money to pay), I’m about to answer when I run into Dr. Dave

Dr. Dave - Dr. Smith, it's good that I find you still here, an emergency came up at home, could you help me by assessing the person who got the bullet removed?

Andrea - Of course, Dr. Dave, but tell me, is everything okay at home?

Dr. Dave - My little one is about to be born, but my wife is in the basement, there is no one there because they went shopping, I have to go help her to get her to the hospital

Andrea - Oh wow, don't waste time then Dr. Dave, your wife is waiting for you

Dr. Dave - Thank you Dr. Smith, see you around

I see him running down the hall taking off his gown and leaving it at the reception desk, I sigh and go to ask in which room the gunshot wounded man is, although thinking about it, I never asked Dr. Dave if I had to report to the police, we don't even know what happened for him to get shot, will it be a thief? Or a policeman? A mobster? Damn, it would be great to meet a mobster, but now Andrea concentrate so you can go home and rest. They tell me which room he is in, I knock, I enter and I find the gunshot wounded man, who I now know is named Dante according to the information they provided at the time of admission and another man, he is handsome, but not like the guy who admitted him anyway Andrea focus

Andrea - Good evening, I'm Dr. Smith, I'm here to assess you Mr. Dante

Dante - You are very beautiful, Dr. Smith, I am lucky to be attended by you

Andrea - Thanks for the compliment, but what I came to do, do you allow me to assess you?

Dante - Sure, I allow you to do whatever you want to me

Andrea - In that case, inject you with 4 sedatives to control the delirium you are presenting?

I look at him and I see that he turns pale

Dante - What?? No, of course not, no more needles I understood, I understood, proceed to do your assessment and remove this bag from my arm

I smile and proceed to carry out the assessment, I observe, and his companion only laughs after doing the whole assessment I inform him

Andrea - Well Mr. Dante, that bag, as you referred to the serum you have in your arm, will stay for one or two more hours since you are still weak due to the blood loss, I am going to administer medication to help your body get stronger and you can go home

Dante - Okay, give me the pills, I want to get out of here now

Andrea - Excuse me, Mr. Dante, that goes injected

Dante - What?? No way, not another needle, I'm not crazy, I'll take all the pills you need but no more needles, I refuse

Andrea - Take it easy Mr. Dante, relax, you can remove the stitches, the medication goes into the serum, there is no need to inject anything else

I see how he sighs and proceed to administer the medication (I think: how can you see an alpha male and he's more of a child when mentioning injections) I smiled at the comparison

Andrea - Ready Mr. Dante, in a couple of hours I will be back to check you again

He just nods and his roommate thanks me

I go out and go for a new coffee, it seems that my shift is not over yet, I have to sign the discharge of the child Dante, I smile at such a reference but my smile fades when I see the person entering the hospital

Andrea - Mom? What's up? Are you okay? (I run to her almost)

Margarita (mom) - Shut up, Andrea, if you really cared about your mother, you would answer the damn phone, but nooo, I have to come looking for the girl myself, right

Andrea - Mom, you know I'm on call, I can't answer the phone if I'm busy

Margarita (mom) - I am your mother Andrea, what if I get into an accident, or pass out and you don't even return the calls

Andrea - Mom, understand, I don't have the freedom to answer the phone when I'm in the ER

Margarita (mom) - Shut up now Andrea

Andrea - Mom, tell me, what’s wrong? Can I check on you now?

Margarita (mom) - Of course something hurts Andrea, my heart for having such an inconsiderate daughter with her mother

I walk with my mother to the office and when I enter I tell her

Andrea - Mom, why are you looking for me?

Margarita (mom) - I need money

Andrea - Mom, last week I just gave you the money you asked for

Margarita (mom) - But now Carlos needs to pay off a debt and I don't have enough with what I have so give me the money

Andrea - Mom, get a job, I can't keep giving you more money

Margarita (mom) - Now more than ever you have to pay, otherwise they are going to kill him
